  A gripping cold war thriller follows an American submariner on a mission to infiltrate the inner circle of the Russian Intelligence Service. Lieutenant Robert McMann, an atomic submarine weapons officer is asked to volunteer to take on an extremely dangerous mission allowing himself to be abducted by agents of the Russian KGB and military. 
  The objective is to find out how American military personnel are being turned or blackmailed to provide information on highly classified American weaponry and top-secret equipment. 
  Before entering that Saturday meeting, Rob shares an elevator with a striking woman accompanied by her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter. On that ride to the fourth floor, Rob is more than taken back by Gwen and her daughter. As the doors of the elevator opened, Gwen steps forward into the hall, Rob makes a split-second decision to meet Gwen later so that they could get to know each better over coffee. Gwen, widowed after her husband, a naval aviator, was killed in a fiery aircraft accident, accepts an invitation from a stranger who is paying attention to her daughter, Daphne. She is struck by how Daphne has never taken to a strange man like this before and wonders what it is about him that affects her so deeply. Similarly, Gwen finds herself intrigued and wondering the same thing. This fascinating tale will keep you guessing where it's going and will be very hard to put down.

  On the Fourth of July in 1867, the Union Pacific Railroad announced plans to expand their line into the remote mountains of Dakota Territory. They chose a site near Crow Creek Crossing to be their headquarters and named it Cheyenne. Almost immediately, new residents began to arrive: dreamers and schemers, drifters and grifters, good folks and bad. The owners of Union Pacific knew there'd be problems. Between settling disputes, laying down tracks, and keeping the peace, they'd need a troubleshooter. A reliable man of steely resolve. A concealed weapon . . . 
   
   
   
  His name is Derringer. Like the gun. 
   
   
   
  Arriving by cattle car with two of his beloved horses, Jesse Derringer is not your typical railroad employee. With the eyes of a scout, he looks for trouble before it becomes a problem for the construction crews—and sometimes starts trouble himself. Usually he handles hot-tempered troublemakers with a cool head and steady hand. But then there are problems that are more complicated and it's Derringer's job to defuse them—before they ignite a full-blown bloodbath. 
   
   
   
  Jesse Derringer is about to learn the true definition of trouble-shooting.

  Step into the twilight of Alexandria, where the fall of the Lighthouse and the Great Library ignites an odyssey of knowledge, sacrifice, and redemption. The Last Theorem of Hypatia is an immersive historical audiobook that intertwines the decay of a city under siege with the mysticism of Hellenistic philosophy, tracing the fates of three souls bound by a mechanical star map that holds the essence of a lost era. 
  Through vivid prose and rich sensory detail, listeners are plunged into Alexandria’s collapse in 642 CE: the shattering of bronze mirrors, the echoes of Coptic chants reverberating through dusty ruins, and the relentless pulse of an artifact that could either save or bury its legacy. Meet Nazanine of Ctesiphon, a scholar obsessed with preserving Hypatia’s wisdom; Kassander of Thessalonica, a scarred mercenary driven by hatred for academics yet drawn to the chaos’s gold; and Papo, a blind monk whose faith and prophecies guide his path to redemption. 
  From the fractured mirror chamber of the Lighthouse to the buried depths of the Library, where ancient gears awaken and traps guard forgotten secrets, this epic narrative explores the cost of conquest, the power of knowledge, and the fragile hope of rebirth. Blending meticulous historical detail with the enchantment of Alexandrian lore, The Last Theorem of Hypatia is a gripping journey through a world on the brink—where the past murmurs in spirals, the present trembles, and the future hinges on an uncertain dawn. 
  Perfect for fans of historical fiction, ancient philosophy, and tales of destiny and sacrifice, this audiobook transports you to the heart of 7th-century Egypt—a land of scholars, warriors, and beacons where every decision resonates through time. Narrated with passion and depth, The Last Theorem of Hypatia is a haunting tribute to a lost civilization and the souls who bear its light.

Lady Eleanor knows everyone who counts, and at her annual sumptuously extravagant party, Charlie will meet them all.
